I got to go yesterday and I picked up a 325 rd box of 22lr for 20 bucks. The place was packed for it just being full of card members, I don't think I would want to be there Thursday when it really opens though.

I was at the Lone Tree store at 9:30, this morning, supposedly a 'members only' gig...what a madhouse. A couple checkout lines ran the full length of the store.
They had some Winchester 55 gr .223...for $19.99/20...such a deal!
I was looking for a Garmin Nuvi 50LM GPS, they had them at $199.99, hell Walmart has them for $119. Even The Bargain Cave wanted $179 for a used one.
Asked three salespeople where the 'boonie' hats were...they had no idea what I was talking about. A camo'd soldier was standing nearby and said he knew what they were but hadn't seen any. I found a couple, but their catalog shows several styles...no joy.
They had a couple AR-15-looking rifles in a rack but couldn't get close enough to see any detail or pricing...a real mob. As with most new stores the aisles are too narrow. A couple guys in front of the rifle racks had buggies and not enough room to pass each other...they just stood there looking at each other.
At least their 'pre-Christmas' sale will be easier to get to than Sidney.
Their 'sale' prices are usually pretty good, but sure was underwhelming for a big 'grand opening'.
I think I'll go to IKEA instead.
anyone there now?
Planned on going this morning. Then I saw they had a screaming deal on .223. Ammo was the only thing I was really interested in. Buying online from Cabela's and having it shipped to my home saved me about $20 because of the lower tax rate over buying it in the store.
Guess I'll just keep buying online and paying Park County taxes.
I was at the Thornton store today for the credit card invite. The checkout line was at the "45 minute wait" point by 11:00AM (they opened at 9:00AM). And by that time, there was no .22LR on the shelves even though they're limiting people to a max of 1 box of .22 (if you bought the 50 round boxes you could get two IIRC). I suppose it's possible they were going to bring out more but I didn't see it in the hour I was there.
I was planning on going there tomorrow for the grand opening to try and score one of the first 500 gift cards......and then I saw people camping out in the parking lot already (again, at 11:00AM today). Sooooooo....I figured there ain't nothin' I need so bad that I have to submit myself to such torture.
The store looks nice though. I'll enjoy shopping there once all of the silliness dies down.
I may go to Thornton tomorrow - mostly looking for some clothing items and not guns n roses er ammo...
